About the Item
A mid-century design for a sculpture, signed or titled Mermet bottom left corner. Presented in period metal frame.
A very strong image which is almost certainly a design for a sculpture due to the three dimensional nature of the piece accentuated by the lines of the image extending beyond the subject itself showing the different planes to be worked.
This extremely energetic and forceful application of the crayon and the extension of the lines is highly reminiscent of the work of the expressionist Bernard Buffet who lived and worked in Tourtour in the South of France. The angular features of the figure and the dark intense lines are particularly in line with the style of his work. Expressionism was a form of art less interested in the correct anatomical representation of the subject but more in portraying the feelings and emotions that the subject evoked.
The model appears to be for a sculpture quite possibly inspired by African art as the image is reminiscent of African fetish figures or figurative sculpture.
